You're a pariah. An outcast. Your voice is lost in the wind. Hush, your storm was over before it eve

About Me

(Note that the following may restate the same thing multiple times in some instances (or just ramble, but shhhh), as it's a compilation of not even I know how many updates. I'm just, honestly, too lazy to go back and edit/filter it. Feel free to message or comment in German or English. My English is flawless and my German only semi-fluent, but I can get by and see no reason to not improve. I'm also semi-fluent in Latin, having finally bothered to work on my declensions. :O)
I'm a cynical, eccentric metrosexual writer (now if only I could tear myself away from video games enough to write for longer periods!). Both a warning and summary.
Nationality: Axis Child (German/Japanese) No Italian, but oh well. I did get the Asian eyes. ^.^
First and foremost my loves are reading and writing (maybe games, but shhhh :O), with a close second being piano (but I suck at sheet music; the songs I know are from memorization). Yes, I'm even into politics. If you talk to me, you're more likely than not going to end up getting into a bunch of talks on literature, history, politics, etc. Deal with it. ^.~
On a lighter note, I'm addicted to swords (including fencing) and fire. And the mixing of the two. Pyros are so much fun. ~.~
To clear this up: college. I'm starting to Gardner-Webb University (and attending this time) this September. My application has been updated and my acceptance is still good. I'll go for English, emphasis on Creative Writing.
The only sport I've really ever cared much for is football, but I can't play it anymore because I broke my ankle my freshman year and, when running, now have a tendency to veer to the left with my right foot. It throws me off balance a tad too much to reliably play football for a real team.
Appearance.... Hell, I'm not even going to get started here, beyond base observances. You're more than welcome to click my eye and formulate your own view of me, though. I -do- have pictures of my face. I just choose not to make them my main picture, for the sake of those people's eyes who don't really want to see me. *winks*
My natural hair color is auburn, but it's currently dyed midnight-black, no streaks. It used to be brown with blond streaks and, at one point, was even solid blonde (I'll never go back to that--woah).
Personality.... I'm witty, and tend to joke a lot--hell, nearly all the time. I can become annoying, but most people tend to find me highly funny. Really, it depends on whether or not you have a stick up your bum or not as to how I come off to you in person. I -do- have the ability to be serious, though, and I'm always there for friends--even strangers--if they need someone to lend them an ear or view.
It's very, very difficult to make me mad.
Random likes.... I'll leave it at snow, storms (and the two former together), winter (back to snow we go!), music, reading/writing (sorry, they can't be seperated!), gaming, gaming design, etc. Get the idea I'm a geek yet? You're damn well right! ~.^ (Does anyone else notice I use parentheses a lot? ((It's like I have a habit of talking over myself))(((SEE!?))))

My Interests

*Grabs your chin and turns your gaze back towards the about me section.*

"Read it.... Of if you're lazy: reading, writing, fencing, fire, art, debate (including arguing, but shhh)..."

I'd like to meet:

(DO NOT random add me if you're a mindless drone, an idiot or...fake. I've no tolerance for idiocy or those who can't be themselves. Also, it seems that lately I'm getting spammed with advertisements...this is very, very annoying. ~.~)

Example: Your music tastes. You love a band when they first start out or when they're not overly popular, but suddenly you detest them and everything they've ever done because, in your eyes, they've become 'too mainstream' or 'sold out'.

Seriously, what does them seeking fame and fortune for obvious talents hurt? They still, often, play the same bloody music. Isn't that what you listened to them for in the first place? Despite the number of fans they have or how much money they've made, it doesn't change that aspect. You either like the sound of their music or you don't.

God. :) And, yes, I know I'm not very devout. ~.~

Ok, guys, I really -do- consider /all/ of you friends. There's just the logical problem that I can't get to all of you at once! I normally always comment/message when I add someone or am added. I'll also always respond to comments and messages if they're not spam. Just, please, give me time.

The ranks below DO NOT matter. I don't rank my friends--the slot they're in is just the slot I had available when they were added.

Non-modern: MOST classical. Primarily "Appassionatta" and "Turkish March" (Rondo Ala turca).

I'm sure by now you can tell I pretty much like anything save country (not all of it is bad. I just don't like themes that, on majority, deal with nothing but crushes, drinking and killing people for being an abusive husband, cheater, etc).

Movies:

The Libertine, Barcelona, Artemisia, Pulp Fiction, The Illusionist, Tristan and Isolde, Amadeus, Troy, Rome, Kingdom of Heaven, King Arthur, Lost Boys (The), Dangerous Beauty, Delicatessen, Underworld, Underworld: Evolution (dedicated to Carolyn), and Les Diaboliques.

Television:

I'm not big on television...but I will admit I like Futurama, The Simpsons, King of the Hill and Family Guy. Shhhhhhh!

Books:

Asimov, Piers Anthony, Andreyev, le Fanu, etc, but I read anything that's well-written and interesting (to me), to tell the truth.
Specifically? (No particular order)
1.) "Lazarus" by Leonid Andreyev
2.) "The Red Room" by H.G. Wells
3.) "Wake Not The Dead" by Johann Ludwig Tieck
4.)"The Dust of Death" by Isaac Asimov
5.)"Carmilla" by Sheridan le Fanu
6.)"The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allen Poe
7.)"The Doll's Ghost" by Marion Crawford
8.)"Bloodlines" by Sidney Sheldon
9.) "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley
10.) "Northanger Abbey" by Jane Austen
11.) "Uncle Silas: A Tale of Bertram-Haugh" by Sheridan le Fanu
12.) "Dracula" by Bram Stoker
13.) "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad
14.) "The Jewel of Seven Stars" by Bram Stoker
15.) "The House of Souls" by Arthur Machen
16.) "The Werewolf of Paris" by Guy Endore
17.) "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson
18.) "Melmoth the Wanderer" by Charles Maturin
19.) "The White Devil" by John Webster
20.) "The Monk" by Matthew Lewis
21.) "The Hungry House" by Robert Bloch
22.) "The Owl" by Anatole le Braz
Still with me? Good. I've taken the effort to list this many great stories (-I- approve of them, so how can they not be good?), so do you know what you're going to do? You're going to read them!
Hey! Send me a message and tell me if you enjoy them.

Heroes:

Must I have one? Anyone in the "Books" section will suffice, I guess...

Any writer of merit, by my standards...not by their diction, but by their imagination and their legend. More often than not, authors of merit, considered so by general consensus, suck.

Why I've been so inactive lately.

I apologize to anyone I've ignored over the last week or two. I've been busy editing "Dark Awakenings". Contrary to what I thought would happen (rejection), a major literary agent (amazingly, really m...

To Kay! ^-^

I'm assuming that the proper response to your blog about me, besides commenting--of course--would be to write one for you as well? I fear, however, that the length of it is primarily going to be me ra...
